Auguste Happold kam 1879 als Frau des Industriellen August Happold nach Feuerbach. Gemeinsam engagierte sich das Paar für Bildung, Wohltätigkeit und Krankenfürsorge in der Gemeinde. 1886 war es an der Gründung des privaten Realschulvereins beteiligt, dem es ein stattliches Gebäude in der heutigen Leobener Straße stiftete. 1897 wurde das Gebäude zum Sitz der ebenfalls von den Happolds mitbegründeten Privattöchterschule. Zum Dank bekam der Bau den Namen Happold-Stift. Nach dem Tod von August Happold setzte Auguste ihr Engagement für Feuerbach fort. Anlässlich ihres 70. Geburtstags pries Oberbürgermeister Wilhelm Geiger ihre großen Verdienste um die Stadt und vor allem um deren Einwohner. Auguste Happold starb 1948 mit 87 Jahren in Feuerbach.

Auguste Happold came to Feuerbach in 1879 as the wife of industrialist August Happold. Together, the couple supported education, charitable work and healthcare in the community. In 1886, they helped establish the private secondary-school association and donated an impressive building on what is now Leobener Straße. In 1897, the building became the home of the private girls’ school that the Happolds had also helped establish. In gratitude, it was named the Happold-Stift. After August Happold’s death, Auguste continued her work for Feuerbach. On her 70th birthday, Lord Mayor Wilhelm Geiger praised her outstanding service to the city and especially to its residents. Auguste Happold died in Feuerbach in 1948 at the age of 87.
The Auguste Happold figure was donated by Liane and Wolfgang Völker.
